1960-1964 Imperial hubcaps

[Prof]

Hey,

I have found these hubcaps and want to use them on my '68 Town and Country. Do they require a deep-dish rim?

These will NOT work on a Chrysler rim because 66 and older Imperials have the valve stem moved closer to center. If you manage to force them on and tweak the valve stem, they will most likely leak, tear the stem off after some time or throw the wheel cover.

How about that for some tech support!

Yup, another idiosyncrasy of the Imperial 5x5 wheels.

Another example of Ma Mopar weirdness much like LH thread lug nuts.

Another example of the amount of knowledge here in FCBO.

Couldn't you elongate the hole for the vale stem?

I just was in my barn and grabbed a 64 Imperial wheel cover and pounded it on a 69 Fury spare, It went on but it was extremely hard to get on. Valve stem lined up and everything. So im guessing you can get those on your 68 Chrysler. Its odd though a 66 Imperial wheel cover will not fit 67-73 Rims because of the valve stem location.
